2.

Security Plan and Implementing Procedures The inspectors met with licensee representatives and reviewed and discussed the NRC - approved Physical Security Plan (the Plan) and its implementing procedures. As a result of this review and discussion, it was determined that implementing procedures were current, clear, concise I

and consistent with the commitments in the Plan.

3.

Follow-up on previous Violations i

(Clos 3d) Violation 50-272/85-10-01 and 50-311/85-10-01:

Inadequate 11-I lumiriation within a portion of the protected area. The inspectors

,

observed that a lighting fixture that was previously missing from a building wall and had caused a portion of the protected area to be inadaquately illuminated had been remounted and the area had adequate illumination.

Station Administrative Procedure No. 9 had also been revised to include a requirement for station maintenance to notify the security organization before work is performed on security related equipment.

(Closed) Violation 50-272/85-10-02 and 50-311/85-10-02: A security guard

,

failed to demonstrate adequate knowledge of assigned post duties.

The

'

inspectors determined that the individual was subsequently retrained as a result of this incident but that the individual is no longer employed as a guard at the site. During this inspection, the inspectors interviewed

{

numerous security guards about their duties and responsibilities. One

'

guard was determined to be unaware of his specific post duties, even though his duties were adequately described in the post orders that were in his possession. The inspectors considered this an isolated case of poor performance in view of the number of security guards (10) who were interviewed, each of whom demonstrated excellent job knowledge. The l-e t

-

,

'

i licensee relieved the individual from post and was to conduct an analysis to determine the reason that he could not demonstrate knowledge of his post duties.

I Subsequently, the Nuclear Security Manager stated that this security guard was subsequently terminated from employment for several reasons, including a record of poor performance.

4.

Follow-up on a Previous Inspector Concern

,

(Closed) Inspector Follow-up Item (IFI) 50-354/87-15-01:

Inadequate assessment of two portions of a protected area isolation zone. The inspectors observed that the licensee had taken adequate corrective action to provide expanded coverage of the isolation zone in question.

The inspectors also determined that the licensee had documented the corrective action in a revision to the Plan and that the revision was accepted by the NRC.

5.

Follow-up on Security Program Event Reports The inspectors reviewed records and discussed three security events, reported to NRC in accordance with 10 CFR 73.71(c), which occurred on September 18, October 9 and December 2,1987. One event involved a plant employee who knowingly violated access control procedures. The employee's access was temporarily suspended and he was formally disciplined for his actions. Af ter corrective action was taken, the employee's access to the site was reinstated. The other two events involved security officers being observed to be inattentive while on duty.

The licensee took prompt and effective corrective action in each case. The inspectors determined that the licensee developed a long term corrective action program to

minimize the recurrence of inattentive security guards.

This program i

includes limiting and controlling overtime and conducting organized discussions on topics such as proper nutrition and physical fitness. A i

physical fitness center is located on site and is available for use after I

work by all security force members.

The inspectors determined during this review, that the licensee took timely and appropriate compensatory and corrective actions with respect to all three events.

.

6.

Security Organization The inspectors reviewed the security organization structure and found it to be in conformance with the Plan.

Through a review of records and discussions with the security contractor representatives, the inspectors determined that nineteen individuals left the security force between January 1 and December 31, 1987; six were terminated for cause and

,

'

thirteen terminated for personal reasons. A security force representative stated that no aaverse information about the security force or program i

surfaced during exit interviews with the employees.

The Nuclear Security Manager stated that the Wackenhut Program Site Manager position is currently vacant and has not been continuously filled since April 30, 1987, when Wackenhut assumed responsibility for the

-

security program. On two occasions, the individuals assigned to the position resigned due to personal reasons.

He also stated that although there was an absence of continuous leadership, they have not experienced any significant problems with the security force. Wackenhut representa-tives ensured the inspectors that they were trying to resolve the management vacancy and that they would take every precaution to prevent performance related problems to develop as a result of not having a permanently assigned Program Site Manager.

The inspectors agreed with the licensee's assessment concerning the performance of the security force, however, the inspectors expressed their concerns about potential impacts on the security program if strong, experienced management is not assigned promptly.

This matter will be reviewed during a future inspection of the security program.

7.

Managemer.t Effectiveness The inspectors discussed the following actions undertaken by the licensee to enhance the effectiveness of the security program at the Artificial Island Nuclear Generating Station since the last inspection:

the licensee implemented a Security Incident Review Committee to

-

review all security related events for significance and impact on the security program.

the licensee implemented a "Quality Circle" that will include

-

grievances reported to the security contractor and licensee security management.

the licensee substantially increased the nu.ber of armed officers

-

on each ser.urity shif t.

the licensee established a position for a "Technical Sergeant" on

-

each shift to allow the Shift Sergeant to devote more time to supervising the shift.

the licensee implemented a "Career Broadening Program" to allow

-

members of the management staff to cross-train for aliferent positions within the security organization.

8.

Security Program Audit

>

The inspectors reviewed the security program audit, Nuclear Quality i

Assurance (NQA) 87-0726, that was conducted on August 13-14 and September 4, 1987 and verified that the audit had been conducted in l

accordance with the plan. The audit was comprehensive in scope and the

'

results were reported to the appropriate levels of management.

The documented corrective actions appeared appropriate for the findings.
